Interview: Moving Criminal Cases Forward with Sophia Dewberry

Author: Killer Audio Creations August 23, 2025 Duration: 24:00
When an ordinary South African finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation, she starts to see the gaps in the system that are deeply failing families and justice professionals. Sophia Dewberry was not willing to sit back and lament the situation, though. Instead, she has started an organisation that she hopes will help to move criminal investigations forward faster and more efficiently and give victims of crime the justice they deserve.
